We have provided everything and provided information about the 345 00:27:11,01 --> 00:27:16,41 neighboring community and its cost of living adjustments. And I believe actually at 346 00:27:16,42 --> 00:27:18,36 the last meeting that Kathy had mentioned 347 00:27:18,37 --> 00:27:24,48 a two percent increase it is actually included in the budget at two percent. But 348 00:27:24,55 --> 00:27:30,42 giving given the financial situation of the village right now I did lower it to one 349 00:27:30,43 --> 00:27:35,66 percent and in the legislation if council wants to make it different than that 350 00:27:35,78 --> 00:27:41,25 that's certainly up to council but at given the current situation. One. 351 00:27:42,83 --> 00:27:48,13 And we do have you will see that. No one around us is giving lessons to. 352 00:27:49,80 --> 00:27:56,19 Us the AT and I was I think I asked I know I read it in the minutes for the 353 00:27:56,20 --> 00:28:01,10 position description and the Yad rough and some some kind of out salary comparison 354 00:28:01,11 --> 00:28:05,28 we haven't been able to get Mosher I did you send out the email to your clerks Well 355 00:28:05,61 --> 00:28:11,26 actually we just sort of will then come that given the right I think that's all 356 00:28:11,27 --> 00:28:14,97 right. And in the go. And there just still 357 00:28:14,98 --> 00:28:20,78 a good bit yeah the difficult part of salary comparison for us is that we have 358 00:28:20,79 --> 00:28:26,77 somebody combine positions. You know Joe does the water plant and the water 359 00:28:26,78 --> 00:28:32,70 reclamation facility Johnny does electric and water distribution Jason does streets 360 00:28:32,76 --> 00:28:37,54 parks and rec and sewer collection and in most places those aren't combined 361 00:28:37,55 --> 00:28:42,68 positions so it is going to be difficult to compare an apples to apples kind of 362 00:28:43,47 --> 00:28:48,76 salary since we combine positions and that way we can certainly give it 363 00:28:48,77 --> 00:28:55,77 a shot if that's what counsel wants. I think I mean I think that that's actually 364 00:28:55,78 --> 00:29:02,24 something that can't have had on his agenda to look at it was salaries but it was 365 00:29:02,25 --> 00:29:07,34 also just understanding that position descriptions and fine tuning those I think 366 00:29:07,35 --> 00:29:11,61 that got put on the back burner with the new manager it might be something that 367 00:29:11,87 --> 00:29:16,73 Patty's able to pick up on but I'm not sure that you know it I'm not sure we 368 00:29:16,74 --> 00:29:21,55 rightly right now to this it would just be good to know kind of where we are really 369 00:29:21,66 --> 00:29:25,49 at least on the right you know what I thought we might be able to do and I talked 370 00:29:25,50 --> 00:29:28,16 to Melissa a little bit about it is is maybe doing like 371 00:29:28,17 --> 00:29:33,69 a weighted average kind of the thing for you to say taking Johnny's position and 372 00:29:33,73 --> 00:29:38,13 take an electric superintendent on an award distribution and kind of doing 373 00:29:38,14 --> 00:29:44,23 a weighted average of those kind of things. So I don't suppose besides getting the 374 00:29:44,24 --> 00:29:49,52 numbers there wasn't any sort of like narrative about why they chose those numbers 375 00:29:49,61 --> 00:29:55,57 you know. And the only other piece that I feel like you know could enlighten this 376 00:29:55,58 --> 00:29:58,75 a little bit is you know to maybe have done 377 00:29:58,76 --> 00:30:03,21 a two or three year comparison and I'm not suggesting that the patty that staff 378 00:30:03,22 --> 00:30:06,73 should have done that is just that you know it's possible that these communities 379 00:30:06,74 --> 00:30:12,41 didn't give raises last year so and I believe we did it during the during the worst 380 00:30:12,42 --> 00:30:17,36 of the recession. Many communities were flat lining right and I certainly never did 381 00:30:17,36 --> 00:30:22,35 . So I'm I'm a guy I hate to do it to staff but I feel like 382 00:30:22,36 --> 00:30:27,62 a one percent is safer for us right now so I would go with one percent. 383 00:30:29,27 --> 00:30:33,75 I agree I think it's physically proven and prudent I think that's 384 00:30:34,40 --> 00:30:38,89 a good recommendation. That I did I hear 385 00:30:38,90 --> 00:30:44,87 a recommendation but you know I think our folks. Do a heck of 386 00:30:44,88 --> 00:30:46,70 a job that they did a heck of 387 00:30:46,71 --> 00:30:52,96 a job then. And going through what they felt in the 388 00:30:53,23 --> 00:30:59,93 fifteen reduced it and so forth. I'd like to see that to proceed. 389 00:31:04,17 --> 00:31:09,83 As I feel. I mean I think we can we could look at two other possibilities as is 390 00:31:09,84 --> 00:31:11,38 compromising it at one and 391 00:31:11,39 --> 00:31:17,02 a half percent or the possibility of of revisiting adding the extra adding another 392 00:31:17,03 --> 00:31:23,68 percent say at the half year. Sort of lease if we once we see how if anything's 393 00:31:23,69 --> 00:31:28,07 maybe revenues will be increasing or things I mean people are taking on more work 394 00:31:28,08 --> 00:31:30,08 and we are getting busier we're going to have 395 00:31:30,09 --> 00:31:36,86 a busy year so I I definitely. Do agree with Gerri that our 396 00:31:36,87 --> 00:31:42,15 staff is is very heavily worked on and doing 397 00:31:42,16 --> 00:31:48,62 a great job. But I you know I'm looking to be conservative as 398 00:31:48,63 --> 00:31:52,80 conservative with the budget as we can be. And. 399 00:31:57,42 --> 00:32:03,16 Then we look believe again it's six months if that's what council wants to try to 400 00:32:03,17 --> 00:32:09,99 do you know if if you know if things come to fruition as as as the guys in go it 401 00:32:10,00 --> 00:32:10,82 was with through 402 00:32:10,83 --> 00:32:17,32 a good budget and in reduced him and I think. If if it stays that way their course 403 00:32:17,33 --> 00:32:17,99 of something is 404 00:32:18,00 --> 00:32:24,98 a going to be out of their parole. And. They stay prudent and 405 00:32:24,99 --> 00:32:31,90 should. Be. Yeah if council wants to revisit it in six months 406 00:32:31,91 --> 00:32:37,40 that's that's certainly the council's trying to. Be happy to do that and I would 407 00:32:37,41 --> 00:32:43,40 support such sounds great. Any citizen comments. 408 00:32:45,97 --> 00:32:51,06 Seeing and hearing none will come down.

Without that revision I think that they both exceeded 526 00:42:17,56 --> 00:42:23,43 the minimum qualifications. Sergeant never as we know has been serving in our 527 00:42:23,44 --> 00:42:27,45 village for forty one years fifteen of those as 528 00:42:27,46 --> 00:42:31,40 a surgeon the incident that occurred on November fifteenth two thousand and 529 00:42:31,41 --> 00:42:33,81 fourteen in which Alice Springs resident videotaped 530 00:42:33,82 --> 00:42:38,54 a sworn officer of the law clearly documents the sergeant violating the citizens 531 00:42:38,55 --> 00:42:43,05 civil rights preventing the woman's constitutional right to record the surgeon is 532 00:42:43,06 --> 00:42:47,16 of major concern I find it unacceptable that this law officer has not even been 533 00:42:47,17 --> 00:42:52,68 placed on administrative leave while the investigation has been conducted we simply 534 00:42:52,69 --> 00:42:57,29 cannot allow law officers with questionable behavior to carry a gun and 535 00:42:57,30 --> 00:43:03,60 a badge it is far too dangerous to risk the public safety until we can be sure as 536 00:43:03,61 --> 00:43:09,25 sure as humanly possible that the officer is fit for duty at the very least I would 537 00:43:09,26 --> 00:43:13,15 like to see demotion and leave of our leave without pay for 538 00:43:13,16 --> 00:43:19,58 a significant period of time. For this unlawful and despicable behavior and 539 00:43:20,36 --> 00:43:20,94 this is 540 00:43:20,95 --> 00:43:27,84 a revised copy of the letter that was published in the newspaper and 541 00:43:28,52 --> 00:43:34,73 the letter has more in it so on the minute that you think you.

I had the pleasure of having the 544 00:43:51,80 --> 00:43:55,90 former chief of police Brody as 545 00:43:55,91 --> 00:44:01,04 a second grader in my classroom that just indicates I'm going around quite 546 00:44:01,05 --> 00:44:06,70 a while I also had a fox. In my house as well as 547 00:44:06,71 --> 00:44:09,07 a number of other people I've been here 548 00:44:09,08 --> 00:44:15,14 a long time and it seems to me that the chief real. They can set 549 00:44:15,18 --> 00:44:21,06 a tone for what happens in the village and how the police conduct themselves I've 550 00:44:21,07 --> 00:44:26,85 been dismayed at some of the things that have changed since John Brown he stepped 551 00:44:26,86 --> 00:44:32,04 down one of them being ushering kids across the street before and after school I 552 00:44:32,05 --> 00:44:38,13 think that morning our. Task even though it seems small but I think for the kids 553 00:44:38,50 --> 00:44:38,71 it's 554 00:44:38,72 --> 00:44:45,62 a very important thing. And I I have been dismayed at the sense of sort 555 00:44:45,63 --> 00:44:51,65 of militancy as I specially with the use of the SWAT team approach that happened 556 00:44:51,66 --> 00:44:56,39 earlier this year and I would like to have 557 00:44:56,55 --> 00:45:01,18 a police department be more geared toward being. 558 00:45:02,57 --> 00:45:07,75 Supportive compassionate caring people who are looking forward to 559 00:45:07,76 --> 00:45:14,60 a wonderful community to live in and I think that people who have lived here 560 00:45:14,66 --> 00:45:17,01 for a time have vested 561 00:45:17,06 --> 00:45:21,09 a lot of themselves in this process and I think that they have 562 00:45:21,10 --> 00:45:27,82 a sense of the community which I feel is quite unique. So at any rate I urge you to 563 00:45:27,83 --> 00:45:33,20 consider some of these other people that Zoe suggested because I think they would 564 00:45:33,21 --> 00:45:33,56 be 565 00:45:34,05 --> 00:45:40,92 a great asset in our department thank you Joe. Yes 566 00:45:41,09 --> 00:45:46,03 thank you. Other comments other citizen concerns. 567 00:46:00,03 --> 00:46:05,49 Me we've explained that the process with the police chief that's. It's gone through 568 00:46:05,50 --> 00:46:10,68 a process and I think that they are part of our other candidates and it's really up 569 00:46:10,69 --> 00:46:17,18 to the staff and the committee as to. To. How it's moving forward I think it's been 570 00:46:17,19 --> 00:46:23,10 explained. Pretty well at past meetings and past cell. 571 00:46:24,22 --> 00:46:30,33 And the other issue is still with under under consideration and. 572 00:46:31,81 --> 00:46:38,60 Still being Crist you want to. Really get on. The line 573 00:46:39,26 --> 00:46:45,43 we'll move slowly we were talking about protecting the rights of others within the 574 00:46:45,44 --> 00:46:51,83 context of this primary process. Is moving along or getting into the final stages 575 00:46:51,84 --> 00:46:57,20 of that and I expect that they'll be the only did exercise her right she did to 576 00:46:57,21 --> 00:47:03,00 a third party previous of Larry. Today which means of that we will go with. 577 00:47:04,40 --> 00:47:09,19 The earliest the decision on whatever discipline may be imposed upon it the bill 578 00:47:09,20 --> 00:47:16,11 would be premature probably be and about to leave because the office. I 579 00:47:16,12 --> 00:47:22,41 am hoping to expedite that because I think this needs to be disposed of but. She 580 00:47:22,42 --> 00:47:27,78 did exercise that right late today and I also think it would be the you're 581 00:47:27,79 --> 00:47:32,75 brilliant I'm outside That's correct it's chief Wilcox from even P.T. 582 00:47:32,75 --> 00:47:35,39 . Ole Miss fan. 583 00:47:43,05 --> 00:47:48,74 Needed the village handbook the village personnel manual it with part of the 584 00:47:48,75 --> 00:47:54,36 disciplinary process has a provision for any employee not just 585 00:47:54,37 --> 00:47:59,32 a police officer but any employee who's facing disciplinary action has the right to 586 00:47:59,33 --> 00:48:05,50 exercise and request a pretty disciplined ery hearing before 587 00:48:05,54 --> 00:48:11,84 a neutral third party and in this case we chose someone outside the village which 588 00:48:11,85 --> 00:48:16,63 is chiefly Willcox of eat in peace. Has agreed to be that neutral third party and 589 00:48:16,64 --> 00:48:22,00 hear that hearing what happens there is that that person looks at the investigation 590 00:48:22,01 --> 00:48:27,42 looks at all the evidence talks to the parties involved probably yourself again 591 00:48:27,91 --> 00:48:31,96 then that person listens to the employee and makes 592 00:48:32,00 --> 00:48:38,73 a determination. As to what they believe to be the facts of the investigation 593 00:48:39,18 --> 00:48:41,27 and they make 594 00:48:41,28 --> 00:48:47,53 a recommendation which I had and not obligated to follow but I'm obligated to take 595 00:48:47,54 --> 00:48:54,42 into consideration. It's essentially. A extra step in there 596 00:48:54,83 --> 00:49:00,61 that ensures on the employer side fairness and equitability Chris would you agree I 597 00:49:00,62 --> 00:49:02,61 would agree I mean fundamentally what we're talking about is 598 00:49:02,62 --> 00:49:07,23 a suit is an opportunity where the individual who in the context of the employment 599 00:49:08,13 --> 00:49:14,43 has an opportunity presented additional evidence that may be has not the result of 600 00:49:14,44 --> 00:49:20,25 this suit or record which could explain maybe there were something going on in the 601 00:49:20,30 --> 00:49:25,03 personal level of maybe that this person would want to out of the consideration of 602 00:49:25,04 --> 00:49:30,55 whatever the problem here might be it's just fun it really just comes down to the 603 00:49:30,56 --> 00:49:34,37 supply aspect or atmosphere there you know that employee has 604 00:49:34,38 --> 00:49:40,97 a right to present his or her place in the situation like this. Because that if 605 00:49:41,02 --> 00:49:47,93 that in chief has no ties to this village or to. Sergeant Penrod as 606 00:49:47,94 --> 00:49:52,32 far as past employment. While she did that for 607 00:49:52,76 --> 00:49:55,00 a while work part time for it in P.D. 608 00:49:55,04 --> 00:49:58,84 Chief Wilcox was not there at that time so he does not have 609 00:49:58,85 --> 00:50:03,22 a tie to her we didn't want to choose Green County for obvious reasons and we 610 00:50:03,23 --> 00:50:06,72 didn't want to use Montgomery County because of Chief Hales ties there so we look 611 00:50:06,73 --> 00:50:12,77 for someone outside that realm that wouldn't have any ties to anyone involved. 612 00:50:16,97 --> 00:50:21,75 Any other citizens concerns. Me. 613 00:50:24,23 --> 00:50:30,76 Thanks for that shit.

See grow the 634 00:52:14,94 --> 00:52:20,91 officers in that way so please be assured that I am I'm doing as much as I can to 635 00:52:20,92 --> 00:52:26,69 take all of these things into consideration. As we go through this process and 636 00:52:26,70 --> 00:52:30,63 council is committed to continuing the community dialogue also I think we talked 637 00:52:30,64 --> 00:52:37,23 about that at the last meeting when H R C presented their findings from that Unity 638 00:52:37,24 --> 00:52:41,58 Forum and I don't know I think that they are there they're here develop make 639 00:52:41,72 --> 00:52:42,26 developing 640 00:52:42,27 --> 00:52:46,90 a plan that's right yes so you know what was brought up at our last meeting or so 641 00:52:46,91 --> 00:52:51,00 ideas some suggestions that we're going to be working on at our meeting this month 642 00:52:51,01 --> 00:52:56,73 and continuing to develop ideas to bring back you know it's all right so you hear 643 00:52:57,66 --> 00:53:04,54 one thing you know I don't know. Where we would stand and so forth but I 644 00:53:04,55 --> 00:53:11,14 did read today that President Obama one of the things that he had recommended in 645 00:53:11,34 --> 00:53:17,50 the folks that he talked to recommended to the. Poor before. 646 00:53:19,05 --> 00:53:25,71 Cameras in camps in the in the. He gave the number of 647 00:53:26,67 --> 00:53:32,19 communities that have been and and don't have and in the pairs that he he may be in 648 00:53:32,20 --> 00:53:38,21 toward helping out the smaller communities. I think that's something that unless 649 00:53:38,22 --> 00:53:42,51 you we should you know explore. Given that we have 650 00:53:42,52 --> 00:53:48,10 a small department him we normally only have two officers on duty at 651 00:53:48,11 --> 00:53:50,44 a time that it may be 652 00:53:50,45 --> 00:53:56,89 a way. That they could share the the equipment in and be able to do not 653 00:53:56,96 --> 00:54:02,20 download it once they're there is shift it is completed in the next person with him 654 00:54:02,38 --> 00:54:08,21 when he. Came where getting it is something to think of it is something that we 655 00:54:08,22 --> 00:54:13,58 have discussed is the button camera the look how chaotic and fell camps it is it's 656 00:54:13,59 --> 00:54:17,31 interesting. You mean here that right that enables you know federal funds we know 657 00:54:17,32 --> 00:54:22,24 what they are also not as hard but again they write if we want our offices to be 658 00:54:22,25 --> 00:54:28,32 more humane minded and so forth they're going to yell the cars more absolute so 659 00:54:28,61 --> 00:54:35,54 that they that that is in it. The statistics has shown that. As more and 660 00:54:35,55 --> 00:54:42,47 more officers are wearing Camors on the the amount of this 661 00:54:42,54 --> 00:54:49,39 huge or. Allegations on the new decides seems to diminish 662 00:54:50,08 --> 00:54:54,80 an absolute when both parties are are really protected because you have 663 00:54:55,08 --> 00:55:01,54 a visual plus Oh are you. Absolutely recording of what really did 664 00:55:01,64 --> 00:55:04,06 place things I think 665 00:55:04,39 --> 00:55:08,75 a very quickly I just miss have somebody else that I had and I just want to say 666 00:55:08,76 --> 00:55:11,95 that in addition to the body cameras that were talked about there is also 667 00:55:11,96 --> 00:55:17,54 a larger effort towards community policing and so there should be opportunities for 668 00:55:17,55 --> 00:55:23,77 training there are open every night and I get the right thank you thank fans. As. 669 00:55:25,22 --> 00:55:30,67 Almost. Yes friends and allies at our. 670 00:55:31,94 --> 00:55:38,93 House Party cameras are all. I think that. We do 671 00:55:38,94 --> 00:55:43,15 not have body cameras at this time for achieve no why and we don't cause I there 672 00:55:43,16 --> 00:55:47,98 was discussion as to whether one person had bought their own but as 673 00:55:47,99 --> 00:55:53,83 a department we do not have them that. We have in the car dash cam we do have dash 674 00:55:53,84 --> 00:55:58,42 cams and are those on at all times or it is the officer turned them on how do they 675 00:55:58,43 --> 00:55:59,06 often go out on 676 00:55:59,07 --> 00:56:05,76 a traffic stop or are they reacting that way fight with your wife or do you know 677 00:56:05,77 --> 00:56:07,57 all night long all. 678 00:56:13,36 --> 00:56:19,73 Right.

Just like any computer my name is over 683 00:56:46,32 --> 00:56:53,12 any meister. They need to be downloaded so that the memory is there for new 684 00:56:53,13 --> 00:56:55,80 information and there is an incident just over 685 00:56:55,81 --> 00:57:02,40 a year ago where that was not done and so there was nothing on videotape but was 686 00:57:02,41 --> 00:57:08,59 very fortunate so they need to be monitored and that Telstra supervision issue 687 00:57:08,97 --> 00:57:15,62 right so the supervisor wasn't making sure that the employee was doing that or so 688 00:57:15,85 --> 00:57:19,45 OK Thank you. Yes Kate. 689 00:57:24,35 --> 00:57:28,49 You have attended with the further into Justin's fund be something that can be used 690 00:57:28,50 --> 00:57:32,70 for the cameras I believe so there are some restrictions on that but they just 691 00:57:32,71 --> 00:57:35,67 loosen them up recently and that was kind of 692 00:57:35,68 --> 00:57:39,96 a discussion we had as far as the the cruiser that was in the budget that we 693 00:57:39,97 --> 00:57:45,82 removed so I think that I think those are under electronic equipment can be used 694 00:57:45,90 --> 00:57:51,39 for others and justice can be used for those things Thanks Kate. Any other citizen 695 00:57:51,40 --> 00:57:56,81 comments. OK I will. 696 00:57:58,71 --> 00:58:03,94 Close the citizen comment portion do you think only other piece of business we have 697 00:58:04,82 --> 00:58:07,28 other than trying to future agenda items this is 698 00:58:07,33 --> 00:58:13,41 a survey Brian I'll turn it over here to talk about this community access panel 699 00:58:13,42 --> 00:58:20,05 survey. Soon. The main mission of community access 700 00:58:20,12 --> 00:58:25,97 is according to the ordinance is to assess the needs of the community and one of 701 00:58:25,98 --> 00:58:31,08 the things that we realized is that we had not really done not in 702 00:58:31,09 --> 00:58:36,21 a while so for the past couple months we've sort of been working on different ideas 703 00:58:36,22 --> 00:58:40,93 looking at what other communities have done and we've got it down to this would be 704 00:58:40,94 --> 00:58:41,09 on 705 00:58:41,10 --> 00:58:48,85 a half page. So it would be. Half of the now file leavened and 706 00:58:48,89 --> 00:58:54,91 the idea is basically do fulfill that Mrs mission to figure out what do citizens 707 00:58:54,92 --> 00:58:59,42 was from Channel five and from community access obviously we've been doing 708 00:58:59,43 --> 00:59:02,57 a lot with the Internet so we want to look at that more and see if there are some 709 00:59:02,61 --> 00:59:07,94 things that we're not thinking about what other kind of content can we offer and so 710 00:59:07,95 --> 00:59:12,75 what we'd like to do is get the survey out as soon as possible we are planning to 711 00:59:12,76 --> 00:59:19,62 use Survey Monkey and also put it in the paper as an insert Yes private one 712 00:59:19,63 --> 00:59:21,23 things that we discussed 713 00:59:21,24 --> 00:59:25,96 a cap was put in them on having your stock the right to be I don't know yet is 714 00:59:26,18 --> 00:59:31,59 their decision about yeah I think we like to do that still so would it be is it 715 00:59:31,60 --> 00:59:34,95 like a large postcard for me yeah and then we would have 716 00:59:35,23 --> 00:59:37,84 a place for the address on the back stick 717 00:59:37,85 --> 00:59:44,76 a stamp on so you can mail it in or do the Survey Monkey. In 718 00:59:44,77 --> 00:59:49,83 there. You bring in the used this is here they're useless and you know it was in 719 00:59:49,84 --> 00:59:55,48 our package Yes Yes So I guess one thing is if there's any feedback anything that 720 00:59:56,29 --> 01:00:03,15 looks unclear someone might be missing. But I'm excited about the initiative I mean 721 01:00:03,16 --> 01:00:04,69 I definitely think it's been 722 01:00:04,70 --> 01:00:09,41 a while since we've really figured out what how citizens are using Channel five and 723 01:00:10,30 --> 01:00:14,36 with this movement again towards more online content it would be good to. See how 724 01:00:14,37 --> 01:00:21,22 people are using it. And I think that I don't concern if it's going 725 01:00:21,23 --> 01:00:27,34 to. I think it's now great or you know we're meeting like I said on Wednesday so 726 01:00:27,35 --> 01:00:30,00 our plan is to sort of get the P.R. 727 01:00:30,16 --> 01:00:36,77 Schedule going in then get it out by next week. The. 728 01:00:38,48 --> 01:00:45,19 Managers for. One thing that 729 01:00:45,56 --> 01:00:50,41 council should be aware of and I believe you all know is this fan and has requested 730 01:00:50,42 --> 01:00:50,53 that 731 01:00:50,54 --> 01:00:57,15 a criminal investigation be initiated into the incident that she had with Sergeant 732 01:00:57,16 --> 01:01:02,08 Penrod that has happened. In Clark County S.O. 733 01:01:02,09 --> 01:01:06,67 Is going to be conducting that investigation we did contact out of chief was able 734 01:01:06,68 --> 01:01:11,37 to get ahold of you we did contact Fayette Madison counties but they both said 735 01:01:11,59 --> 01:01:15,66 since Clark had agreed and they both it indicated they had full faith in Clark 736 01:01:15,67 --> 01:01:21,65 County. I did meet with Miss fan and for two hours the other day myself and Chris 737 01:01:21,66 --> 01:01:28,14 Connor spoke to her about the incident as part of my part of the disciplinary 738 01:01:28,70 --> 01:01:33,18 and so Clark County has begun that investigation I think they've already spoken 739 01:01:33,19 --> 01:01:39,43 with you right and so we will be awaiting the outcome of that that is separate from 740 01:01:39,44 --> 01:01:45,69 the disciplinary process the disciplinary process will proceed internally and we 741 01:01:45,70 --> 01:01:51,32 will be waiting for that decision to issue our discipline so we will move forward 742 01:01:51,36 --> 01:01:57,03 on that. And would move you know might have been 743 01:01:57,27 --> 01:02:03,24 a good. Amount there the investigation the results of that comes of that 744 01:02:03,45 --> 01:02:09,08 investigation of the criminal investigation moves that go to Clark County will take 745 01:02:09,09 --> 01:02:15,93 the results of that straight to the county prosecutor Mr Lewis. And in the end he 746 01:02:15,94 --> 01:02:19,00 will make the decision as to whether he's going to file those charges that are 747 01:02:19,31 --> 01:02:25,25 thank you. I have offered John the assistant village manager position and he has. 748 01:02:26,67 --> 01:02:31,19 Accepted John was actually I had asked him to come to the one on the fifteenth but 749 01:02:31,20 --> 01:02:35,26 he explained to me that he was going to be down in Nashville visiting his folks and 750 01:02:35,27 --> 01:02:40,03 I didn't want to have to drive back so that's why you see here this evening. I am 751 01:02:40,04 --> 01:02:43,05 awaiting the final contract from each in T.V. 752 01:02:43,06 --> 01:02:43,73 We will have 753 01:02:43,74 --> 01:02:50,53 a resolution at the next meeting for council. And I think it will be 754 01:02:50,54 --> 01:02:56,70 a good resolution under the circumstances. Dizzying Avenue sidewalks are complete 755 01:02:56,71 --> 01:03:01,35 and the cemetery Street project will be finished this week they're putting in the 756 01:03:01,36 --> 01:03:07,87 last couple of taps up there the sockets in the street have been paved back over 757 01:03:07,88 --> 01:03:14,43 and that has been seeded straw and they will be moving the. The mailboxes again for 758 01:03:14,44 --> 01:03:20,27 the folks but we've made arrangements for. The mail carrier to be able to get to 759 01:03:20,28 --> 01:03:22,36 the mailboxes that was kind of 760 01:03:22,37 --> 01:03:25,08 a problem that residents were unable to get their mail for 761 01:03:25,18 --> 01:03:31,23 a long time that has been resolved. We did receive two additional applications. 762 01:03:32,48 --> 01:03:39,45 In the extended deadline for the chief of police the selection. Committee 763 01:03:39,46 --> 01:03:43,31 the Advisory Board is looking those over to determine if we want to interview them 764 01:03:43,59 --> 01:03:48,14 or simply move forward with the two finalists that we have council doesn't need to 765 01:03:48,15 --> 01:03:48,48 set 766 01:03:48,49 --> 01:03:55,36 a day to do the council interviews with the two finalist that we have now. I did ask 767 01:03:55,37 --> 01:03:56,24 everyone to bring 768 01:03:56,25 --> 01:04:02,57 a calendar with them so that we could set that and get that along I'm hoping to 769 01:04:02,58 --> 01:04:06,99 have the council interviews the same evening as the public meet and greet for the 770 01:04:07,00 --> 01:04:13,65 chief and that is what's that date it is whatever we decide it to be OK. 771 01:04:14,74 --> 01:04:19,86 I will tell you that right now I have meetings Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday 772 01:04:19,87 --> 01:04:26,77 this week and Monday Tuesday next week so. So 773 01:04:26,78 --> 01:04:32,55 there is earliest with the record fifteen Well I mean we could do it Wednesday or 774 01:04:32,56 --> 01:04:39,50 Thursday evening next week if that's. If that's an if if councils available to do 775 01:04:39,51 --> 01:04:44,72 and then when the two candidates are sitting here. I could do the ten. 776 01:04:46,40 --> 01:04:52,68 Of the public our commission meetings the total Oh it is.

And I'm available. At what time. 780 01:05:14,24 --> 01:05:20,09 Likes seven I think she's thinking of earlier than that for council earlier for 781 01:05:20,10 --> 01:05:25,68 council and then have the meet and greet after leg so it's six or hollering if we 782 01:05:25,69 --> 01:05:26,95 can do I've got 783 01:05:26,96 --> 01:05:32,71 a departmental meeting or that and sat on the ten things I did you hear that means 784 01:05:32,72 --> 01:05:39,08 I'm four fifteen five thirty I can be here at six minutes early if we do six six 785 01:05:39,09 --> 01:05:44,66 and seven on the terms for the interviews and do eight to.

Start at four interviews from four to five thirty and from five thirty to 819 01:08:59,66 --> 01:09:06,58 seven enemy agreed from seven to nine. Hundred and 820 01:09:06,59 --> 01:09:09,96 One interview from four o'clock to five thirty gives an hour and 821 01:09:09,97 --> 01:09:13,20 a half the actual secondary from five thirty to seven an hour and 822 01:09:13,21 --> 01:09:17,37 a half there and then to me grief from seven to nine yes OK Everybody's good. 823 01:09:26,57 --> 01:09:32,86 To I will get that all scheduled were Council. OK. 824 01:09:35,37 --> 01:09:39,96 Two other things that are not on my report the question the council had about the 825 01:09:39,97 --> 01:09:41,98 Mercer court sidewalks. 826 01:09:46,49 --> 01:09:51,51 If you were to take the sidewalks out the sidewalks would have to be put in fact 827 01:09:51,55 --> 01:09:56,90 unless the village petitioned the planning commission for a variance to make that 828 01:09:56,91 --> 01:10:03,09 a. What's called an estate style street it's not wide enough to not have 829 01:10:03,13 --> 01:10:09,77 sidewalks per the zoning code so if the sidewalks were taken out they would have to 830 01:10:09,78 --> 01:10:16,48 be put back unless we formally petitioned to. Be allowed to not put them back. 831 01:10:17,90 --> 01:10:21,47 To second thing is. There is 832 01:10:21,48 --> 01:10:28,20 a. Need does that sound feasible or you know if 833 01:10:28,26 --> 01:10:34,72 it's feasible to do it I would I don't know that I would 834 01:10:34,73 --> 01:10:41,62 encourage. Council to do it because the estate style story is in the the street 835 01:10:41,63 --> 01:10:46,53 was not built to conform with the description of an estate style street in the 836 01:10:46,54 --> 01:10:52,88 zoning because it's not wide enough and so I don't think it's something I would 837 01:10:52,89 --> 01:10:58,83 encourage Council to want to proceed with. But. 838 01:11:00,66 --> 01:11:06,19 Bit Doris' in their eyes because you're looking at the. You condition of the side 839 01:11:06,20 --> 01:11:10,77 long it's right here right there the possibility of it need to go to 840 01:11:11,41 --> 01:11:18,22 a number to reduce right so this one is right it I mean A is 841 01:11:18,30 --> 01:11:23,81 the best option would be to to repair and rebuild the sidewalks but when you do 842 01:11:23,82 --> 01:11:27,74 that you're going to damage the tree roots anyway so the some of the trees are 843 01:11:27,75 --> 01:11:31,00 going to die back because of the damage to the roots and it's kind of a 844 01:11:31,01 --> 01:11:36,19 a conundrum that's why I don't like to build psychotics in your trees or plant 845 01:11:36,20 --> 01:11:40,82 trees in your side of things but maybe it's something that John and I can get our 846 01:11:40,83 --> 01:11:43,27 heads together on once he gets in and we can start with 847 01:11:43,28 --> 01:11:48,39 a trial project settling in Don We've got lots of talk rather rapidly about it sure 848 01:11:48,39 --> 01:11:55,39 . We've got lots of talking about it is going to be all Joe tree 849 01:11:55,40 --> 01:12:02,33 oh I. See the sidewalks and trees orthogonal on top of trees you've 850 01:12:02,34 --> 01:12:07,37 seen tree receding sidewalks and so one of the things that I've lived in pursuing 851 01:12:07,41 --> 01:12:13,54 in Bellevue was actually. Trying to install. Bugs of all 852 01:12:14,05 --> 01:12:18,84 payments and style around the tree roots and that allows the truth to your Grove of 853 01:12:18,85 --> 01:12:24,90 The Tree of the cycles to remain and know what it is and cost of that so that you 854 01:12:24,91 --> 01:12:29,36 could reach into one great oh just bring it with you when you come on the fifth. 855 01:12:30,89 --> 01:12:36,27 This is not going to happen not in the thick of it all way before you have your. 856 01:12:36,48 --> 01:12:43,11 More to do with do not do in this particular area. The only other thing is I had 857 01:12:43,12 --> 01:12:46,87 meant to have this included impact it is apparently one of the things I forgot to 858 01:12:46,88 --> 01:12:53,80 get to Judy during the short week. The village personnel manual and the way 859 01:12:53,81 --> 01:12:59,17 into dresses part time employees who are eligible for benefits is it's applied 860 01:12:59,38 --> 01:13:05,18 evenly and we need to make it uniform across the board and the simplest way to do 861 01:13:05,19 --> 01:13:05,84 that is to make 862 01:13:05,85 --> 01:13:12,34 a wording change in the personnel policy instead of saying. That. 863 01:13:13,28 --> 01:13:19,13 The village pays any fifteen percent of the premium for full time employees and 864 01:13:19,14 --> 01:13:19,62 then we pay 865 01:13:19,63 --> 01:13:25,13 a pro-rated percentage of the premium for part time employees based upon their 866 01:13:25,14 --> 01:13:31,70 hours of work but it's unevenly applied for various reasons some because they came 867 01:13:31,71 --> 01:13:32,05 in under 868 01:13:32,06 --> 01:13:36,35 a different man all summer because the employees are exempt the easiest way to do 869 01:13:36,36 --> 01:13:40,92 it this would affect two employees is just to change the wording to read that the 870 01:13:40,93 --> 01:13:45,27 village pays fifteen percent of the premium for all eligible employees regardless 871 01:13:45,28 --> 01:13:49,80 of the number of hours work if Council were to do that it would affect the budget 872 01:13:49,81 --> 01:13:53,80 to the tune of three thousand seven hundred fifty dollars annually for two 873 01:13:53,81 --> 01:14:00,63 employees that's total for both employees so that is something I would like Council 874 01:14:00,64 --> 01:14:05,09 to consider doing just to make everything uniform it's very difficult right now you 875 01:14:05,10 --> 01:14:08,32 have to take the number of hours the employee works in it's 876 01:14:08,33 --> 01:14:12,40 a percentage of that based on the number of hours it never comes out right it's 877 01:14:12,41 --> 01:14:18,03 different for every part time employee it's just really confusing. Is this 878 01:14:18,04 --> 01:14:22,43 something could be is would council entertain having Patty bring that legislation 879 01:14:22,44 --> 01:14:28,12 to the next meeting or. That's all I have is that it would go in that. 880 01:14:29,73 --> 01:14:33,75 It would have to have two reading simply because it's an ordinance and you know we 881 01:14:33,76 --> 01:14:38,95 go thirty days after that but our open enrollment was last month anyway we we 882 01:14:38,96 --> 01:14:45,08 signed up for the month of December because we got in early so I mean so yeah 883 01:14:45,14 --> 01:14:51,82 there's no benefit to doing it that's an emergency not really. To get the. 884 01:14:52,98 --> 01:14:59,09 OK I found it easier illiterate for the. Preacher so that something on the other 885 01:14:59,51 --> 01:15:05,52 it's just didn't get really busy every twenty fifteen which seems. Really. 886 01:15:07,79 --> 01:15:14,62 OK I'm sorry do you have one other thing and I skipped right over it and. In my 887 01:15:14,63 --> 01:15:21,46 report no it's not in here because this is the only part of. The taskforce did 888 01:15:21,47 --> 01:15:28,42 offer us several vehicles. That they had confiscated. I turned down three of them. 889 01:15:29,63 --> 01:15:30,55 Two Cadillacs and 890 01:15:30,56 --> 01:15:37,21 a Lincoln Navigator I turned those down home however I would recommend to counsel 891 01:15:37,22 --> 01:15:39,92 that we accept the other two vehicles the first one is 892 01:15:39,93 --> 01:15:43,65 a Ford Expedition which is what we were looking at buying 893 01:15:43,66 --> 01:15:46,05 a police department anyway it is 894 01:15:46,06 --> 01:15:50,75 a two thousand and three Ford Expedition. And it has it does have 895 01:15:50,76 --> 01:15:55,96 a hundred thirty eight thousand miles on it but there are some pictures of that the 896 01:15:55,97 --> 01:16:00,93 other is a two thousand one Toyota extended cab Tundra pickup with 897 01:16:00,94 --> 01:16:05,79 a cap on it has about one hundred thirty eight thousand miles but both of these are 898 01:16:05,80 --> 01:16:11,30 the holes are in great shape. They're confiscated they're the cost of the village 899 01:16:11,31 --> 01:16:17,95 and we could definitely use both you know what would the so that. The expedition 900 01:16:17,96 --> 01:16:19,32 would be repainted and become 901 01:16:19,33 --> 01:16:23,53 a police vehicle and would have to tender the tundra Actually I would probably 902 01:16:23,54 --> 01:16:29,64 clean that up and drive it myself because I like the trucks. And that would make 903 01:16:29,65 --> 01:16:36,63 the Taurus available is another staff car. And it would also be available to 904 01:16:36,64 --> 01:16:41,26 new public works like when the electric department delivers the flour and sugar and 905 01:16:41,27 --> 01:16:46,06 they could have done it out of the tundra instead of tying up the bay and going to 906 01:16:46,14 --> 01:16:51,30 the meter reader man you can always use another small pickup. And a has 907 01:16:51,31 --> 01:16:57,49 a cap on it which is great would you have to order I would I don't care if it's 908 01:16:57,50 --> 01:16:58,31 right it's probably have 909 01:16:58,32 --> 01:17:04,24 a mark to go but do you know that you know yeah so if it was there it was. 910 01:17:05,64 --> 01:17:06,78 If it except 911 01:17:06,79 --> 01:17:13,31 a will to council Why will. I will move ahead with that this money or if it's.

The queue we have if you're going through. 914 01:17:27,09 --> 01:17:33,87 A. Similar have future agenda items. So we 915 01:17:33,88 --> 01:17:40,88 just added to the dressing room for. Insurance and glory insurance ordinance 916 01:17:41,11 --> 01:17:43,23 it's amending the personnel manual. 917 01:17:49,04 --> 01:17:52,24 Do we need to do We don't need to have legislation for this vehicle she just talked 918 01:17:52,25 --> 01:17:58,42 about. I don't know have to look into that probably so we'll have the agent to be 919 01:17:59,06 --> 01:18:05,90 resolution the next meeting and we'll have. A say in you 920 01:18:05,94 --> 01:18:10,45 we will have something for the skatepark kinder since your opening bids on the 921 01:18:10,46 --> 01:18:15,70 eleventh OK what about our Law Council. 922 01:18:17,05 --> 01:18:18,97 We had the R.F.Q. 923 01:18:19,79 --> 01:18:25,58 And everyone has their copies but we have been so busy that the council needs to 924 01:18:25,59 --> 01:18:30,89 get together and we need to discuss and rank them like we did to decide who we want 925 01:18:30,90 --> 01:18:33,75 to come in and make a presentation to us just like we did with 926 01:18:33,76 --> 01:18:39,79 a consultant we can schedule that whenever counsel wants I sent letters to all of 927 01:18:39,80 --> 01:18:43,34 those folks telling them that we had just gotten bogged down in there would be 928 01:18:43,35 --> 01:18:49,05 after the first of the year before we consider how the timing forward. Just because 929 01:18:49,06 --> 01:18:52,93 it got so crazy we didn't have to know not some of the I just wanted to make sure 930 01:18:52,94 --> 01:18:58,44 it right since it's not even listed as an agenda item. You know we should write 931 01:18:58,45 --> 01:19:01,20 should have that. I mean it's 932 01:19:01,21 --> 01:19:06,01 a kind of thing that would be done in an executive session partly or would it not. 933 01:19:07,12 --> 01:19:12,13 Yes it would be done part at least partly an executive session to do the ranking. 934 01:19:15,39 --> 01:19:21,43 So I have legal IRA here we have you. So what's the ordinance twenty fourteen dash 935 01:19:21,44 --> 01:19:27,77 twenty nine seconds I mean just as it was then that's the. Year that I don't feel 936 01:19:27,78 --> 01:19:34,54 like I did OK. And then you have 937 01:19:34,55 --> 01:19:40,09 the transfer of funds and declaring an emergency that you're twenty fifteen years 938 01:19:40,10 --> 01:19:46,61 for them so that again just worrying. Them and then you're so have to be 939 01:19:46,68 --> 01:19:50,81 transferring. Funds from the general fund to an R.P. 940 01:19:50,82 --> 01:19:57,15 To the Sea Bright green at the range. That was cleaning up that grant. 941 01:19:58,64 --> 01:20:04,88 Fiasco that Lois and figured out. One of the goals that 942 01:20:05,62 --> 01:20:10,76 Mary and I had was to bring something to the next meeting related to the 943 01:20:10,77 --> 01:20:15,44 streamlining of the commissions and I guess in particular she wanted to focus on 944 01:20:15,73 --> 01:20:20,16 the Code of Conduct first commission members first so I think there's 945 01:20:20,17 --> 01:20:26,42 a good chance that we'll have that oh it's December sixteenth OK. Is it fifteen to 946 01:20:26,43 --> 01:20:32,35 fifteen. OK Did did we get any more. 947 01:20:36,33 --> 01:20:42,62 Applicants to work out the no further chart of you know. 948 01:20:44,18 --> 01:20:50,72 I think I may need to do what we did or. I think commissions see me over. 949 01:20:52,44 --> 01:20:56,94 We mailed out we brainstormed that people we made we mailed 950 01:20:56,95 --> 01:21:03,17 a specific invitation to people that we thought would be good. That's right just 951 01:21:03,18 --> 01:21:08,42 not get people often to step up if they're asked if they don't always know just not 952 01:21:08,43 --> 01:21:12,44 always paying attention to all the ads in the paper and the things I think we may 953 01:21:12,45 --> 01:21:18,85 need to be. His act of it yes. We can. 954 01:21:20,51 --> 01:21:27,33 I think we talked about it of. The arc yes rules who will get to give the. 955 01:21:28,90 --> 01:21:34,15 OK So then do we figure out you know because I really I don't remember now the time 956 01:21:34,24 --> 01:21:39,72 frame I know we had to do with less. Than the notion was that the committee would 957 01:21:39,73 --> 01:21:44,70 be seated at the very first part of January so that they could start working on it 958 01:21:44,71 --> 01:21:45,91 so it is getting 959 01:21:45,92 --> 01:21:50,65 a little bit you know well and then that remember the charter amendments have to be 960 01:21:50,66 --> 01:21:55,17 on the ballot on the mind right so we're not going to be in time for May So we're 961 01:21:55,18 --> 01:21:59,22 actually going to be cutting it close for November you can have 962 01:21:59,23 --> 01:22:06,04 a. Half or so as far as generating some of those names how would we go about doing 963 01:22:06,05 --> 01:22:11,34 I think Council can just send send them to you to go OK we have any ideas that give 964 01:22:11,35 --> 01:22:17,67 us an idea. Because with I think we'll only have one right you know. Maybe we 965 01:22:17,68 --> 01:22:23,88 should explain the charter review if you think you could write what the charter is 966 01:22:23,89 --> 01:22:30,30 and review so people are clear on it the the charter is the governing document 967 01:22:30,64 --> 01:22:35,68 of incorporation for the village it essentially explains the village government and 968 01:22:35,69 --> 01:22:39,77 how it functions charter review the church has 969 01:22:39,78 --> 01:22:43,64 a provision for the charter to be reviewed every five years which I think we're 970 01:22:43,65 --> 01:22:50,01 overdue for if I'm not mistaken and they need the review committee has to be made 971 01:22:50,02 --> 01:22:50,48 up of 972 01:22:50,49 --> 01:22:57,29 a variety of folks including many of them citizens residents of the of the 973 01:22:57,30 --> 01:23:03,82 village so Judy had sent out to put out an ad in the paper and on the website 974 01:23:03,83 --> 01:23:10,40 asking for folks to volunteer to be part of this review committee and to 975 01:23:10,41 --> 01:23:17,40 suggest and recommend. To Council and well actually to put onto the ballot I 976 01:23:17,41 --> 01:23:23,14 think it goes directly to the ballot in November for revisions and changes to the 977 01:23:23,15 --> 01:23:29,72 charter. And once those passed the voters 978 01:23:30,28 --> 01:23:35,34 by popular vote they become new amendments the charter and therefore new amendments 979 01:23:35,35 --> 01:23:40,24 to the way the village does business and the council approves those councils and 980 01:23:40,25 --> 01:23:44,08 does so yes yes that and that because there were recommending that it is long OK 981 01:23:44,15 --> 01:23:49,69 except the last time OK that OK I wasn't that part I wasn't going to post it with 982 01:23:49,70 --> 01:23:54,50 a broom and then yes and then they go on to devour it right there I think the other 983 01:23:54,76 --> 01:23:59,03 you know now thinking about it the other the other piece that might be complicate 984 01:23:59,04 --> 01:24:04,80 matters is the legal is R R solicitor and the fact that we are probably going to be 985 01:24:04,81 --> 01:24:10,47 starting with we may be starting with what it is. Well maybe in transition I think 986 01:24:10,48 --> 01:24:15,79 that you can start the initial work of the committee without the solicitor present 987 01:24:16,07 --> 01:24:20,21 as you're going to want to start reviewing it and digging into the charter in depth 988 01:24:20,92 --> 01:24:24,54 although the the thing that we do need from the solicitor and this is actually what 989 01:24:24,58 --> 01:24:27,68 what pushed us the last time we did it were 990 01:24:27,69 --> 01:24:31,30 a number of things that we got from John Chambers where our charter wasn't 991 01:24:31,31 --> 01:24:35,06 complying with the law so you know those are things that we are not going to know 992 01:24:35,07 --> 01:24:38,88 that we're going to require our solicitor is going to have to tell us hey you need 993 01:24:38,89 --> 01:24:45,27 to change is the charter right because state law is now I think I think of counsel 994 01:24:45,31 --> 01:24:48,30 makes an effort after the first of the year to review the R.F. 995 01:24:48,31 --> 01:24:52,22 Cues and then decide who they want to have presentations you do present 996 01:24:52,23 --> 01:24:57,45 presentations in February and make a decision you can have 997 01:24:57,46 --> 01:25:03,44 a new solicitor in here by late March early April of one of those we decide to I 998 01:25:03,45 --> 01:25:10,17 mean not to sort of move it up but what about summer fifteenth. For third 999 01:25:10,29 --> 01:25:17,11 reviewing they are of Q.'s if counsel for. I mean I've already done my analysis of 1000 01:25:17,12 --> 01:25:22,34 the mind I'm not ready to do it so it's very clear we need it six o'clock or do you 1001 01:25:22,35 --> 01:25:28,87 want to meet it to understand why. The looks of it now. 1002 01:25:30,32 --> 01:25:35,02 And see if there's just. So just a lot of legislation actually a lot of it is 1003 01:25:35,41 --> 01:25:41,09 a lot of reading and yet if you'll be desired to the rest of us will be on it 1004 01:25:41,10 --> 01:25:46,52 listen to this it. Says with. 1005 01:25:48,26 --> 01:25:54,45 The Oh I see yeah I can I can come early that that day so the history that six 1006 01:25:54,46 --> 01:25:58,79 o'clock. There's 1007 01:25:58,80 --> 01:26:03,78 a couple things on here on this on the Future Gen items the sidewalk policy you 1008 01:26:03,79 --> 01:26:08,37 know that's something that it sounds like John is going to be the perfect person to 1009 01:26:08,38 --> 01:26:13,63 take that on so maybe we can put that on his plate and not expect it you know not 1010 01:26:13,64 --> 01:26:18,46 expect that it's going to be. In the very beginning of his of his tenure and then 1011 01:26:18,47 --> 01:26:24,47 also the SEATO agreement that's really going to be his in his park and then I'd 1012 01:26:24,48 --> 01:26:31,09 also like to add. Prioritizing economic sustainability discussion or 1013 01:26:31,10 --> 01:26:35,25 commission whatever how and again that would be something that John would be 1014 01:26:35,26 --> 01:26:41,60 involved with so. I would say Those see those things being maybe mid to 1015 01:26:42,21 --> 01:26:49,14 end of of the first quarter. Zero be busy yet after 1016 01:26:49,45 --> 01:26:50,61 we've already planning 1017 01:26:50,62 --> 01:26:57,58 a life. You know that she said life. She said General she did she 1018 01:26:57,59 --> 01:27:04,08 wasn't talking just professional you know. Anything else counsel for the. 1019 01:27:08,67 --> 01:27:13,45 You know again in the you know it is. If I had 1020 01:27:13,46 --> 01:27:19,55 a chance to see the the the work that was done by the congressman's son. I thought 1021 01:27:19,56 --> 01:27:26,16 the do. You know you even. Pet you need the 1022 01:27:26,17 --> 01:27:32,94 space between the new Kirby industry was. Filled with and also right really in 1023 01:27:32,95 --> 01:27:37,64 those days are we going to.
